'The Season of Fresh Greenery, May' Violin Melodies Resonate at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital

The Fifteenth 'Ewha Healing Concert'... Performances by Kim Doyeon and Jo Hyewon

A concert that makes the fresh green season of May even more special was held at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital.

Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital (Director Min Jeong-jun) announced on the 16th that it held the ‘15th Ewha Healing Concert’ with violinist Kim Do-yeon and pianist Jo Hye-won at Yeomi Hall on the 14th.

Violinist Kim Do-yeon graduated from the professional performance course at the Berlin University of the Arts in Germany and has performed concertos with domestic and international orchestras as well as held 13 solo recitals. She is currently the leader of Ensemble Beriliana and Ensemble Majuel, and serves as the concertmaster of the Ars Philharmonic Orchestra.

The concert, held under the theme ‘Melodies of May,’ began with performances of ‘Allegro Moderato’ and ‘Allegro Maestoso’ from Anton?n Dvo??k’s ‘Romantic Pieces for Piano and Violin,’ representing Romanticism from the Czech artist.

The second piece performed was Beethoven’s ‘Violin Sonata No. 5 Spring, 1st Movement.’ The bright and lively performance conveyed a message of hope to patients and their caregivers as it concluded.

The concert continued with ‘Gypsy Music Moldova,’ characterized by its melancholic melodies and rhythms, and ‘My Little Star’ by Ponce, arranged by violinist Heifetz. Especially famous for its very beautiful melody, ‘My Little Star’ was enough to evoke the pleasant energy of spring with its romantic and sweet atmosphere.

The final performance included the theme from Steven Spielberg’s 1993 masterpiece ‘Schindler’s List,’ music by Italian artist Monti based on the form and rhythm of the Hungarian folk dance Czardas, and as an encore, William Bolcom’s ‘Elegant Ghost,’ a piece that uplifts the listener’s mood, receiving great applause.

Director Min Jeong-jun said, “The bright, lively, and sweet performances harmonized to create a pleasant concert on a spring day in May,” and added, “Our hospital will continue to hold various cultural events that can heal the hearts of patients, visitors, and local residents, not just concerts.”

The Ewha Healing Concert at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital is held on the second Tuesday of every month to gift patients and caregivers warm memories rather than the pain of treatment through music. Anyone, including patients, caregivers, staff, and local residents, can freely attend.
